The 2025 Black Estate Skypunch Pinot Gris is a fresh and expressive New Zealand white showing pear, green apple and white peach alongside lemon zest, delicate white flowers and subtle mineral notes. Its cool-climate character brings lively freshness and aromatic lift, while gentle savoury nuances add depth to the bright fruit profile.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of crisp orchard fruit, citrus and delicate stone fruit. Pear and green apple combine with subtle floral, herbal and mineral characters, creating a refreshing yet rounded palate. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, with a fine saline edge and bright acidity that keeps the wine lively.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Pinot Gris drinkers who enjoy fresh, aromatic New Zealand whites with texture, lively acidity and a clean finish. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years, while the fruit remains vibrant and expressive. Serve chilled with kingfish ceviche, seared scallops, salt-and-pepper calamari, pork and fennel dumplings, or zucchini and ricotta fritters with lemon.
